1. Sin won’t comfort you: Marshall Segal explains how Satan temps the hurting, “Satan knows how prone we can be to turn to sin in our suffering — and he preys on that weakness.”

2. Get your son out of his bedroom: Brett and Kate McKay explain, “American men are doing a third less face-to-face socializing than they did twenty years ago.

The Old Covenant put a great emphasis on the concepts of the clean and unclean. The unclean are forbidden from entering the presence of God. They are separated from the community of God’s people. Those who were contaminated (the diseased or those who touched something unclean) were sent outside the camp.”

4. You and I probably would have been Nazis: Hang with Samuel James to the end on this one where he asks a haunting question in light of a core wound which sent Rudolf Hoess on the tragic trajectory.

5. Museum doppelgangers: This is so funny. #6 is such a dead-ringer, it could be his portrait.
